Content: "A landmark study in the struggle to contain climate change, the greatest challenge of our era. I urge everyone to read it."--Bill Clinton, 42nd President of the United States of America. Climate change differs from any other problem that, as collective humanity, we face today. If it goes unchecked, the consequences are likely to be catastrophic for human life on earth. Yet for most people, and for many policy-makers too, it is a 'back of the mind' issue. We recognise its importance and even its urgency, but for the most part it is swamped by more immediate concerns. Politicians have woken up to the dangers, but at the moment their responses are mainly on the level of gesture rather than being, as they have to be, both concrete and radical. Political action and intervention, on local, national and international levels, is going to have a decisive effect on whether or not we can limit global warming, as well as how we adapt to that already occurring. At the moment, however, Anthony Giddens argues controversially, we do not have a systematic politics of climate change. Politics-as-usual won't allow us to deal with the problems we face, while the recipes of the main challenger to orthodox politics, the green movement, are flawed at source. Giddens introduces a range of new concepts and proposals to fill in the gap, and examines in depth the connections between climate change and energy security. This book is likely to become a classic in the field. It will appeal to everyone concerned about how we can cope with what amounts to a crisis for our civilisation.

Content: European Social Policy brings together a distinguished group of specialists who examine the development and current status of European social policies in areas such as social security, industrial relations, regional development, gender equity, agriculture, and immigration. The authors emphasize the distinctive dynamic that arises from a multitiered system in which individual member states share policymaking responsibilities with central authorities. European social policy, emerging in conjunction with the construction of the common market, is the result of a pluralistic process in which member states, social actors, and European institutions, such as the Commission and the European Court of Justice, all vie for influence. According to the authors, the highly fragmented structure of European social policy typifies policymaking in the new European polity, where policy develops without being under the firm control of any particular political group

Content: The book also provides a comparison of social policymaking in the EU with that in Canada and the United States, two other multitiered, or federal, systems

Content: This book is designed to enable non-native English speakers to write science research for publication in English. It can also be used by English speakers and is a practical, user-friendly book intended as a fast, do-it-yourself guide for those whose English language proficiency is above intermediate. The approach is based on material developed from teaching graduate students at Imperial College London and has been extensively piloted. The book guides the reader through the process of writing science research and will also help with writing a Master’s or Doctoral thesis in English. Science writing is much easier than it looks because the structure and language are conventional. The aim of this book is to help the reader discover a template or model for science research writing and then to provide the grammar and vocabulary tools needed to operate that model. There are five units: Introduction, Methodology, Results, Discussion/Conclusion and Abstract. The reader develops a model for each section of the research article through sample texts and exercises; this is followed by a Grammar and Writing Skills section designed to respond to frequently-asked questions as well as a Vocabulary list including examples of how the words and phrases are to be used.

Series Statement: Beihefte zu "Der Staat" Heft 24

Content: Der herausragende Rang Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde als Denker des Staates, als Rechtswissenschaftler und auch als Bundesverfassungsrichter wird in Deutschland wenig bestritten. Weniger bekannt ist, dass er auch über Deutschland hinaus als einflussreicher Gelehrter gelten kann. Über achtzig seiner Aufsätze und zwei seiner Bücher sind in zahlreiche Sprachen übersetzt worden. Die hier versammelten Autorinnen und Autoren sind allesamt durch Übersetzungen und Interpretationen mit seinem Werk in besonderer Weise vertraut. In zwölf Beiträgen wird gezeigt, wie Böckenförde jenseits von Deutschland verstanden und verständlich gemacht wird, wann, unter welchen Bedingungen und zu welchen Anlässen er in den jeweiligen wissenschaftlichen und auch politischen, kulturellen oder religiösen Diskursen Italiens, Polens, Frankreichs, Koreas, Japans und in der spanisch- und portugiesischsprachigen Welt Südamerikas »zum Argument« gemacht wird.

Content: Dabei wird auch deutlich, wie unterschiedlich übersetzte Rechtskonzepte in lokale Rechtsdiskurse integriert und in ihrer Bedeutung an den jeweiligen Kontext angepasst werden. Bei aller Diversität der Rezeption wird indes überall wahrgenommen, dass das Denken Böckenfördes eine besonders originelle und ergiebige Verknu¨pfung zwischen der deutschen Staatslehre und dem politischen Liberalismus darstellt. / »The Reception of Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde’s Oeuvre in International Comparative Perspective« --

Content: Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde is a much-discussed scholar also beyond German-speaking lands. The articles in this collection analyze the reception of his work in the academic as well as political, cultural, and religious discourses of Italy, Poland, Korea, Japan, and in the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking world of South America. They show when, how, and in what context Böckenförde’s writings are invoked to buttress or challenge a particular argument. The contributors are all particularly familiar with his work, having translated and/or interpreted it in the various languages
